How to Make Ribbon Woven Headbands

Cut 4 pieces of 3/8 grosgrain ribbon & seal ends.
37 inches for a 1 inch headband.
27 inches for a 1/2 inch headband.

Hot glue ends of ribbon to form an X.

The video shows a 2 color diamond pattern.
Initial ribbon gluing and placement will determine the weave pattern.
The left 2 ribbons are the INSIDE and the right 2 ribbons are the OUTSIDE.

Glue the X on the INSIDE of the headband.
Notice how it is centered with a little "triangle".
This will give it a nice point on the end.

Watch the video and I will show you how the weave is done.
Every few weaves, pull tightly and use alligator clip to hold place.

Trim Inside

To finish:

Trim inside and hot glue.

Trim Outside

Trim outside with enough ribbon to fold over.
Heat seal ends.

Fold over one side and glue with Fabri Tac.
The Fabri Tac allows you to manipulate the ends to get that perfect neat point.

Fold over other side and glue with Fabri Tac.
Fabri Tac will be completely cured in 24 hours.
